I'm guessing it's not a straight yes or no... but any info regarding

Does anyone know how to get a single frame of a video as a bitmap in

I thought it would be pretty straightforward but maybe I'm missing

I am trying to run a query using xfactorstudio to find all the elements

unsuccessful at getting the class to return any items when trying to
query on the node.
When I use the Xpath.selectNodes() function and pass the queries below,
nothing works. Please help!
Here's a sample:
import com.xfactorstudio.xml.xpath.*;
_global.XPath = XPath;
var myStr:String =
"<products><product><flag>0</flag><name>Item
1</name><price>19.95</price></product><product><flag>1</flag><name>Plate
</name><price>12.95</price></product><product><flag>0</flag><name>Spoon<
/name><price>4.95</price></product></products>";
var myXML:XML = new XML(myStr);
trace("This works: \t\t" +
XPath.selectNodes(myXML,"/products/product[name = 'Plate']"));
trace("This doesn't work: " +
XPath.selectNodes(myXML,"/products/product[flag = '1']"));
trace("This doesn't work: " +

What's the best way to add a low KB scrolling non-editable text area to
an app?
I don't want to use MM's UI TextArea component because it will be my
only UI component in the app which will add like 30KB of dependencies.
I was going to take a crack at implementing a masked movieclip with a
long dynamic textfield in it. Then some sort of lite-weight scrollbar
to control it's clipping.
Any ideas where I can get a scrollbar for just such an occassion?
Something with a auto-resizable and draggable position indicator would
be ideal.
Or any ideas on a better approach or do I have to bite the bullet on the
UI component?

doug, do you have a better xml string, the one in your example is not
valid xml and the flag you mentioned is not in it...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Single giant bitmap vs Multiple smaller bitmaps
- Performance Effects?
To: Flashcoders mailing list <[email protected]>
Message-ID:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Is there any rendering performance difference between using one giant
bitmap
versus slicing up the bitmap into smaller bitmaps?
I am creating a scrolling game for a kiosk, so memory usage is not a big
issue.
Currently I am slicing up one long unique image (no patterns or
repetitive
parts) into several smaller jpegs and loading them into movieclips when
they
are required (scrolled into view). The movieclips are removed when they
are
scrolled out of view. Three scrolling movieclips are required at any one
time. The problem with this method is that there is a stutter each time
a
movieclip is loaded with a jpeg, or removed.
I am considering using just one giant bitmap and scrolling it to remove
the
stutter. Also I suspect scrolling only one movieclip will be less of a
performance hit than scrolling three movieclips.
Does anyone one if one method or the other is better? Is there any
difference at all?
Thanks

I have a math question. Lets say I have a circular movieclip on the

It has a directional marker on it so you know which direction its

click on the circle, now with easing (even just linear), rotate to the
movieclip from its current rotation to the destination angle (where the

Anyone have any good suggestions on the best way to code this, or an

No math required, just use the tween and transition mx classes to tween
to a new rotation.

but you'll need some trigonometry to work out the rotation angle from
the point that is clicked.
if my memory serves me, you can use Math.atan2( y, x ) to get you the
angle in radians, but i think you have to do some quadrant checking to
get the right answer.
the quadrant check itself is easy, just check if x is left or right of
the midpoint, and if y is above or below.
that should get you going.

Ah, rotate to the click point, right. So combine Martin's trig and my
suggestion of the tween classes to move to a new rotation angle, and you
should have what you need.

ok, i was wrong, looks like you dont even need the quadrant
checks...thats my memory for you :)
i made a little movie with a circular movie clip, the reg point was in
the middle, and another movieclip called pointer, which is just a line
going up from the reg point, then this code did the trick
circle.onRelease = function()
{
x = this._xmouse;
y = this._ymouse;
angle = Math.atan2(y,x) * (180 / Math.PI);
_root.pointer._rotation = angle + 90;
}
thanks,
i havent written code like that in a long time, its quite fun being old
skool ;)

Assuming your circle has a center registration point:

function rotation(dx:Number, dy:Number):Number {
return Math.atan2(dy, dx) * 180/Math.PI;

circle.onRelease = function() {

I added it to the bottom of this page:

The only thing is you're at the mercy of the Tween class to determine
which way the rotation will go, so you might need to modify it some.

Nice, I'm going to save that code snippet. Eric, for visual effect, you
also might want to tween animate the transition to the angle instead of
snapping directly to it. To add to Martin's code, something like this:
circle.onRelease = function(){
var x = this._xmouse;
var y = this._ymouse;
angle = Math.atan2(y,x) * (180 / Math.PI);
var thisRotation = _root.pointer._rotation;
var newAngle = angle + 90;
var tween = new mx.transitions.Tween(_root.pointer, "_rotation",
mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeIn, thisRotation, newAngle, 1, true);
}

Its that last part frying me - sometimes it works as expected, other
times,
it decides to rotate the long way around :/
thanks all.

well, what you need to do is work out the shortest route to the angle
you want.
i think it would go something like this
first compute the difference in angles :
angleDiff = abs(destAngle - sourceAngle)
if its greater than 180 degrees, you want to go the other way.
to find that, check which angle is bigger.
goClockwise = sourceAngle > destAngle
So, if you are at 5 degrees and you click at 355 you get :
angleDiff = 355 - 5
= 350
goClockwise = false
and if you are at 355 and want to go to 5
angleDiff = 5 - 355
= 350
goClockwise = true
then find out how far to go :
howFar = 360 - angleDiff
and if you want to go anticlockwise, make it negative
THEN, keep the original angle stored, run the tween from 0 -> howFar and
add it to the original angle at each step.
i think this means you wont be able to get the tween to change _rotation
directly, but rather you'll have to get a callback or something similar
to grab the current tween position. (or you could do something nifty
with nested movieclips and rotate the parent without tweening first, so
you can just modify the rotation of the child from the tween, but that
may be more trouble than its worth..)
anyway, i think that should work, im just working it out as i go along
so it could fail for some cases...this may be where i was thinking about
the quadrant checks, but im not sure.
i'll give it a try in a while, ive got non-computer things to do now. :)
thanks,
Martin

My approach would be to have some PHP classes server side that talked to
the
CMS DB to pull out whats required. then package as XML to return to
flash.
so flash wouldnt have to talk directly to drupal (which can only return
html
basically).
I guess this ends up being an XML adapter for drupal, which seems like a
big
project in general but might not be too bad for just say pulling out
categories or news items in a set category.
however nice the code is once you really get into it, drupal seems like
a
lot of work to pull info from, whereas wordpress seemed to have nicely
document + simple database classes.
if you have any docs, it would be nice to see.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Using the FocusManager
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
I appear to be in focus manager hell.
I have an application with many "forms" each form is extended from movie
clip and based on what menu option you have selected the form may or may
not be visible.
For example I have create user and update user, if you have selected
create user, then update user is not visible.
both of these forms have the default push button set to their own push
button, however in testing I'm finding that if I hit the enter key when
the create user form has focus, the button on the hidden update user
form is being activated.
The way I'm using focus manager right now is getting one by doing
submitButton.getFocusManager.defaultPushButton = submitButton;
Is there some other way I'm supposed to use the focus manager, it seems
like there is one for the whole application instead of 1 per movie clip,
or one per form. I tried attaching my own instance of the focus manager
to each form but didn't see any good results.
Macromedias docs on how to implement focus management in a sizeable
application with multiple forms is pretty non existent.
any help would be appreciated.

Hmm yes. Looks like the regular Tween stuff won't work.
Looks like a rotation easing class might be in order. And it decides
whether or not to rotate + or - to get to the destination. Its a bit
of work to do, but it would really be worth it. The Tween class seems
to only want to += until it gets to the desired rotation - which is
understandable. But sometimes we need tighter control ;)

Grant,
The way i have taken care of this in the past is just to call:
_root.focusManager.defaultPushButtonEnabled = true;
_root.focusManager.defaultPushButton = submitButton;
If the other button is still submitting, try tracing
_root.focusManager.defaultPushButton and see what it says?
Hope this helps, focus manager isnt' always fun...

I am having a problem with the FileReference class in Flash Player 8 and
Firefox 1.0.7
This is my system configuration:
Microsoft Windows XP
IBM Websphere 4.0.7
Firefox 1.0.7
Flash Player version 8,0,22,0
On the server-side, my Java application server (Websphere) sets this
cookie:
[11/1/05 15:41:25:684 PST] 6f4fa5da SystemOut U Cookie:
JSESSIONID=0000J5NBY1F4IHBZRCQXAQK5HPA:-1
In the same session, we use Flash's FileReference class to upload a file
to the server. Flash Player 8 sends two HTTP POST's to the server.
The cookie contained in Flash's file upload request is wrong:
[11/1/05 15:42:05:325 PST] 6f4fa5da SystemOut U Cookie:
JSESSIONID=0000SQL1B013JUL1140XYU2YONY:-1
Why is the JSESSIONID changing?
The problem exists with Firefox but not in Internet Explorer.
We have reproduced this bug on two different PC's.
Is there a fix or workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Sean
